Does anyone know about neuro-monitoring and potential adverse affects? She had a probe in that foot ? and now has intense pins and needles and stabbing pain. Everything else healing up. #neuromonitoring #intraoperative_neuromonitoring #brain_tumor. You guys are so amazing!!! We understood why they were doing it, she’s home now and has significant pain in her foot! A million internet points to all you commenters!!
PhailRaptor
Possible, though unlikely, the tumor was blocking a pain signal that was always there
realdale
Don't worry about it, her brain is in her head. Total opposite side
ShipOfFate
they removed the part of your brain that controls the foot
SpecialAgentCharlesCarmichael
Not again.

Tell the doctor.

@OP disregard my other comments. I've had SSEP and EMGs done, neither should cause excruciating pain. Call on call Dr. Immediately & report

I don't know from nothing, but congratulations on the successful brain tumor removal, and best wishes on a full recovery.

Maybe ask a doctor and not imgur?

I love you all for taking care of us. See doc 12/3 meantime substance abusing nurse practitioner who is vile & useless

Maybe they hit a nerve? I cut my hand a couple months ago still can't really feel my thumb. When something hits it its like fire.

Part of my chin is still messed up from wisdom tooth removal. Got partial sensation back but if I press it I fell all sensations at once.

Ask her surgeon?
NVGoddesscottage
Can’t get past substance abusing NP. THC did the trick!
mercbrit
In Europe we only get a centemeter pain due to the more logical metric system.
NVGoddesscottage
Hahahaha… so wish we were there!
anabobcatz
Shouldn't you be asking your doctor instead of social media?
NVGoddesscottage
The nurse practitioner comes across as substance abusing. Tried to ask and she went on a shame and patronizing bit. Asked to be changed but?
anabobcatz
Sounds like a shitty nurse. I'd get a second opinion tbh
fknbastard
Dermotomes & neuropathy. It’s crazy how connected nerve endings everywhere come back to neck, spine, and brain
thebookofknowledge3000
Sounds like ghosts in the blood... I prescribe cocain!

You never know what your brain is capable of. I have fibromyalgia, means my brain tells my body it's in pain for no damn reason.

I have a chronic infection that ebbs and flows and when it's worse my feet hurt so badly getting out of bed in the morning.
EngineeringProblems
When they removed my tumor my left hand would always do what my right hand would do. It took a lot of work to control then independently.

I decided to pick up guitar. In still suck at guitar.

Glad u r still alive and u get to live the rest of your life as someone who very smart people nerf out over

Probably a question for a neurologist. The like the one doing your follow up exams. Not Imgur
NVGoddesscottage
See him 12/3, meantime substance abusing nurse practitioner who is vile as hell. Will be sharing that with the doctor
NVGoddesscottage
Sometimes you need to ask intelligent questions to get serious responses from doctors. & NP is substance abusing, so barrier to doc.
ChaneDawg
Have you tried cocaine?
NVGoddesscottage
stone cold sober for 38 years, micro dose of THC does the trick!
HistoriesOfXandY
Be glad you're able to talk and type I guess
NVGoddesscottage
THC did the trick

Might have had the probe poke into a nerve and cause neuropraxia or hematoma; or, pressure injury to nerve if it was a long surgery.

An EMG is the next step to evaluate if it has been 4 weeks and it is still present.

Neurosurgery nurse here. Those needles that were in your foot (and throughout your body) are part of neuromonitoring referred to as
NVGoddesscottage
Thank you so much, they did a great job explaining what they were for, just no mention of weeks of debilitating pain after.

Somatosenory evoked potentials (SSEP) or EMGs. We can stimulate through those needles to ensure motor and sensory signals stay the same or

Improve with surgical intervention. As we get closer to elegant brain like the motor strip we can see if the signal dampens which we may

Have to push if the tumor is close to that area. It sucks that we have to place so many needles but you need those deeper signals that

Topical stickers can’t read or stimulate as well through. We have electrode grids that we lay on the cortex of the brain to help us read

I studied medicine and you're making my head spin a little

Electrical activity and errant spread which would tell us if the patient is having a seizure. So anyway the pain is good. It means your

Don't ask the internet for health advice. go to a doctor.
NVGoddesscottage
Called the doctor, nurse practitioner mocked and shamed my daughter about it. I did tell her she’s been the nastiest human, but we r stuck.
ebonyfaery
Change your doctor.
ebonyfaery
Go to a hospital. Get different insurance. Idk how America works I'm sorry
NVGoddesscottage
lol I live in Merica… drug addicted Nurse Practitioner is a barrier to doc who we will see tomorrow.
ebonyfaery
"is a barrier to a doctor we're seeing tomorrow". Not that much of a barrier then is it. If you aren't happy change your doctor or complain
ebonyfaery
about the nurse. It's not hard. You're adults. Why are you paying for a service you don't like? Are you all that daft?
NVGoddesscottage
We live in Nevada. Schools are so bad here doctors won’t come. No private schools. We would have traveled to california, but COVID was ragin
ebonyfaery
There's only one doctor for the whole of nevada? Bull.
WoefulWombat
Probably an American.
NVGoddesscottage
American. Get this. Her dad died 30 days before her surgery, increasing her SS check by $400 a month. She will be booted off insurance.
ebonyfaery
That's fine but wrong advice could kill someone.
Dragonfury5
I think it's more asking for things to ask the doctor about. Many docs have limited solutions and need prompted
ebonyfaery
Don't prompt your fucking doctor. Jesus christ. Tell them your symptoms. This is why you pay them. Reading stuff online and diagnosing your
ebonyfaery
own conditions is something medical professionals hate. Their job is diagnosis. Let them do it.
